I have computers from the 60s to this year and my experience is quite different; newer hardware breaks faster & is harder to repair. Everything I have from the 70s and 80s is all simply working without fail (if something is broken, it's usually just soldering a capacitor or 2); most from the mid 00s to now is broken and often not repairable. I'm talking 1000s of machines. A good exception are thinkpads from around 2010 (with the nice keyboards); they seem unbreakable.
- ABS 2y agoI still have my Thinkpad from 2000 and it works flawlessly despite spending 15 years in a box in a slightly damp room (though the lid cover became sticky/tacky)
- anonzzzies 2y agoYep, it seems thinkpads was (is? the newest one I have is a x240) very good quality.
